As titled with attached score, for dynamic ff at bar 12 beat 1 stave 1, if ‘Auto Place’ is unticked, then the stave distance is changed unexpectedly which causes collision with stave above.

Severity S2 - Critical ⇒ S4 - Minor
Status needs info ⇒ by design

The hairpin in the measure directly above also has autoplace disabled, and hence MuseScore allows things to collide with it. In general, you should virtually never need to disable autom=place any more, so if you got into that habit in 3.0, it's time to unlearn that habit for 3.1

BTW, the reason disabling autoplace for the dynamic had this effect is it allowed another system onto the page.

Even that wasn't necessary - you can freely adjust both of those hairpins without disabling autoplace. In fact you can turn autoplace back on for everything in your entire score (Ctrl+A, then Enable Autoplace in Inspector) and then just do a couple of readjustments and everything works perfectly.
